HOUSE OF CARDS
Words & Music by Richard X. Heyman, Copyright 2013

The coldness that I feel may be the death of me
The tension in the air you could cut with a knife
They’ll promise you the world, I didn’t even get the city
Now what am I supposed to do with the rest of my life?

There used to be a place I thought was safe and strong
Where hearts and diamonds lined the walls,
And the frame seemed solid ‘round the window guards
With jacks and jokers in the halls,
How did I miss the clues? Guess I was wrong
Queens and kings begin to fall
I was merely living in a house of cards
In a house of cards

Deck the halls has taken on a whole new meaning
One false move and it all comes tumbling down
I never noticed before how the floor was leaning
I should have known, living in this trumped-up town

There used to be a place I thought was safe and strong
Where hearts and diamonds lined the walls,
And the frame seemed solid around the window guards
With jacks and jokers in the halls
How did I miss the clues for way too long
Queens and kings begin to fall
I was merely living in a house of cards
In a house of cards

There used to be a place I thought was safe and strong
Where hearts and diamonds lined the walls,
And the frame seemed solid around the window guards
With jacks and jokers in the halls,
How did I miss the clues? Guess I was wrong
Queens and kings begin to fall
I was merely living in a house of cards
In a house of cards
